Two Games the Crew should have won!!

[Ghostbear]

Oh my!! What happened? Two games that starters pitched great games and the crew lost! One was a gut punch, the other one, what more do we have to see before Pyamps is gone?    Game one, crew is up  4-0 going into the last of the 9th.  Pyamps is brought in, not unlike the LAST 3 OR 4 TIMES they brought him in, he imploded. Then they asked Megill  to hurry up and get ready to come in. Not smart.  We have and had a couple of guys who've proven themselves as much more dependable than the fading Pyamps-Nick Mears, Hudson. Uribe, Alexander, Anderson, Yoho, Thomas, Koenig, and even Peguero.  So, why Pyamps when in games prior Saturday's game, he was terrible.   Thus, no matter how much like coach Murphy and pitching coach Hook, they made the wrong decision bringing Pyamps in and then pushing Megill to get ready quickly.  Thus, the blow up happened and the "rattlers" bit them.   The game today, what happened? The crew was up 2-0, Freddie Peralta had pitched a shut out through the fifth, and had 87 pitches on him when he threw a wild pitch and gave up a run.  The next inning, when Freddie hit 90+ pitches, I could see, and think alot of people could see Freddie was gassed. Instead, they pushed him to 104 pitches. The result was, one out and guys on base. We all know the results after that. Yes, Freddie has pitched a great game into the 8th, but he hasn't pitched into 100 pitches this year.  They should have pulled him after the 5th and brought Mears in then. So, where does the blame for these TWO GAMES the Crew Should  have won but lost go? Poor coaching decisions.  Common Guys!! The coaches should and I think do know by now,  who in the bull pen they can really trust and who they can't. Pyamps can't be trusted and I would option him.  Freddie it the best we have, but they can see when he's lost it and pushes it. When he begins to miss with the fastball and walks guys-it's a clear signal he's wearing. Of course he's going to want to keep going, what warrior doesn't. But that's the coaches job, know when your warrior is gassed and is losing it.  So, that's my riff.

Payamps is out of options. He has had three bad outings and five good outings in 2025.

Payamps career ERA is 3.41. He has been effective most of the times the past seven seasons.

That's just baseball sometimes. I think it is Yoho time however, swap Yoho for ERod or Grant Anderson and Durbin for Capra. Yoho can take Capra's 40 man. If we can stay at or above .500 with our pitching injuries that will suffice. Getting back Myers and Woody soon will help and Ashby and Nestor shouldn't be far behind (haven't heard a time line on the Civale setback).

I wouldn’t put Sunday’s game in the should’ve won category, not when you fail to score after the fourth batter of the game.

Just to prepare you moving forward, there are going to be plenty of games the rest of the season where we play better than the opponent and don't win.

In three of the Brewers losses they scored two runs. Hard to win scoring two runs.

In four of the Brewers losses they gave up double digit runs. Hard to win giving up double digit runs.

They did blow the game pretty bad Saturday, but these things happen. 

Should be 9-7 instead of 8-8, oh well, plenty of season left.

It's baseball, can't get hung up on crushing losses. Just win the next one. Even the World Series champ teams lose in walk off fashion, lose series, have losing streaks, just part of baseball.

The Magill meltdown gave me flashbacks to Devin last year when he would pitch back-to-back nights.  His mechanics seemed to be wayyyyy off.

The Brewers will come back to win some games they "should have" lost. These things happen. You win some, you lose some.

I still remember that game a few years ago against the Cubs.  Brewers were down 9-0 in the first.  They came back to beat them 15-9.

Glorious day.
